tiny honeypot for Debian
------------------------

This package provides all the scripts to run a simple honeypot but
are not, however, enabled by default. In the future it might be asked
wether the admin wants to setup these services in (x)inetd but, for
the moment, and for security reasons, the tinyhoneypot package will
not activate any of them after installation.

You can find a sample of the inetd.conf configuration under 
/usr/share/doc/tinyhoneypot/examples/. Notice that you are encouraged
to run your honeypots as user 'thpot' (the created by the package).

In order to help logging creation, the installation script will create
a /var/log/thpot/ directory were scripts can log to. This directory
belongs to the 'thpot' user and introduces a small security risk since
any outside user that connects to the honeypot can fill up
your /var partition (since full captures are kept there). Precaution
is advised, you might want to have that directory in a separate partition
in a production environment.
